Giuliani: I want to be like Bernie Kerik.
In an interview with the Associated Press today, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said “that if his achievements as president are as good as the crime-reduction results of his New York police commissioner, a man now under criminal investigation himself, ‘this country will be in great shape.’” Giuliani’s former NYPD head, Bernie Kerik, faces “allegations of bribery, tax fraud and obstruction of justice.”

lol! damn rudy.
November 5th, 2007 at 5:50 pmJulieAnnie IS already like Kerik, a criminal mafioso extraordinairre!
November 5th, 2007 at 5:52 pm“hey! get this kid out of my way!”
November 5th, 2007 at 5:52 pmOh, and PUT that CHILD DOWN. NOW!
November 5th, 2007 at 5:52 pmTP — I think you may have sensationalized this headline a little bit. In the interview, Rudy apparently expressed admiration for the crime-reduction results of Kerik, and nothing else — not even for the crime-reduction methods of Kerik (whatever those were).
However, Rudy has been saying a lot of truly idiotic things lately, so it would be easy to believe this was just the latest in the continual parade.
Look — Rudy embarrasses himself so much that you don’t need to exaggerate it. The fact that he even TALKS about Kerik at all speaks to his lack of political savvy.
November 5th, 2007 at 5:56 pmThats ok, (t)Rudy, I want you to be like Bernie too. Not Bernie Keric, Bernie Lomax, from the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s”….
November 5th, 2007 at 5:58 pmYet another blatently misleading headline from TP. Typical.
Comment by TCDon — November 5, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
Yet another blatantly misleading post from the FAKE LAWYER that can’t spell. TYPICAL!
November 5th, 2007 at 6:06 pmYet another blatently misleading headline from TP. Typical.
Comment by TCDon — November 5, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
Yeah, TP! What he really said is he wants to be like Bernie Kopell.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:06 pmDon’t forget Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:12 pmIs that before or after you grow up, Rudy?
November 5th, 2007 at 6:23 pmYet another blatently misleading headline from TP. Typical.
Comment by TCDon — November 5, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
Hey… give li’l donnie some cred for his creativity here.
He was jes runnin’ the work “blatant” together w/ “patently”…
It comes out “blatently”…
It’s either that, or he jes’ cain’t spel… ‘n seein’s as he claims to be a lawyer **cough… cough** ‘n all, it’s prolly the latter… he jes’ cain’t spel.
Never mind… oh wait, was that “lawyer”, or “liar”? Not much diff…
November 5th, 2007 at 6:24 pmHmmm… looks like a clear-cut case of child endangerment to me.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:24 pmI’ve never claimed to be the best speller in the world.
Comment by TCDon — November 5, 2007 @ 6:26 pm
No, but you have claimed to be an attorney, a degree that requires expertise with the English Language, and advanced degrees. Yet you write like a 3rd grader high on huff!
November 5th, 2007 at 6:29 pmI’ve never claimed to be the best speller in the world.
Comment by TCDon — November 5, 2007 @ 6:26 pm
Did you claim to be a lawyer? They’re usually educated beyond 5th grade.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:30 pmTCDon, that would be 2 1/10th of an hour billing cycles for this thread - did you properly remove them both?
November 5th, 2007 at 6:30 pm“blatently”? Real sharp there TCDonkeyass. He’s the best lawyer in town.
What a loseer, lawyer my butt, or should I say lawyer my TCDon.
Idiot.
Buck Fush
November 5th, 2007 at 6:31 pmNothing to remove. I’m off the clock, but thanks for caring. (now where is that spell check button?)
Comment by TCDon — November 5, 2007 @ 6:31 pm
Did you remove all of the 1/10th of an hour slots?
Quickly, how many of them? You shouldn’t have to think! Come on, we’re timing you!!!
November 5th, 2007 at 6:34 pmTCDonnie, you may need the Darth Vader spell checker applied.
You must be under some sort of evil spell to come up with the stuff you post.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:34 pmI found it funny that TCDon was talking about Bartlebee wearing a pink frilly frock on the Gore thread - and here he is DEFENDING Rudy - the QUEEN OF PINK FRILLY FROCKS!!!!
Here you go TCDon, here HERO(IN) in her pink frilly frock!!!!

November 5th, 2007 at 6:35 pmRudee has dressed in drag a couple of times. What gives? I tried it ONCE in college for Halloween (due to pressure from girlfriend). It’s out of my system now.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:40 pmOMG.., he wants to be like Bernie (crook and thug), he wants a VP like Cheney, he doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with torture and then brags about using ‘enhanced techniques’ while in NY, he wants to bomb Iran, he likes to dress in drag (dresses, heels, nylons, wig, and makeup), he married his cousin, he announced to his second wife he wanted a divorce during a press conference, he supports gay rights, he supports a woman’s right to choose, he put his NYC command center in the WTC against the advice of all, his lies and ‘tales’ keep getting bigger and bigger, and when confronted with corrections to his lies and mis-statements, he says he doesn’t care and will continue to tell them, and on and on and on..
Where is there ANYTHING at all conservative in anything I just said???? Why is this guy even being considered by the “Conservative” Republican party (let alone being in the lead for the GOP)?? He must have some very big money and very powerful, influential backing (with their own agenda) that has nothing to do with the Republican Conservatives across America.. Scary..
We’ve already had 7 years of lying and incompetence. Do we really want more?
November 5th, 2007 at 6:40 pmBernie did such a wonderful job with the Iraqi police, too [sarcasm]. And they could only prove that he took $165,000 in bribes. How fast did he go from bouncer/bodyguard/chauffeur to head of NYC police?
Definitely qualified to head Department of Homeland Security with $40 billion annual budget [more sarcasm].
November 5th, 2007 at 6:49 pmHate to tell ya, Rudy ol’ pal - you already ARE: a CROOK, a fool and a lyin’ tool.
Jebus. When you toss in the cross-dressing, I think he’d be a worse embarrassment than Chimpy. Yikes.
November 5th, 2007 at 6:51 pmRudy appears to be anticipating a moustache ride.
November 5th, 2007 at 7:25 pmis anybody else under the impression that judy already believes he is the president?….maybe he knows something we don’t?
November 5th, 2007 at 7:49 pmJudee won’t be the next Prezident.
November 5th, 2007 at 7:55 pmRudee has dressed in drag a couple of times. What gives? I tried it ONCE in college for Halloween (due to pressure from girlfriend). It’s out of my system now.
Comment by ForTruth — November 5, 2007 @ 6:40 pm
A couple of times? Sorry, but this was a COMMON occurrence with Rudy. Hey, I have nothing against Draq Queens and Trannies - but when you’re the GOP hopeful that’s whining about ‘traditional values’, it’s a yet another example of GOP hypocrisy!!!!
November 5th, 2007 at 7:56 pmMan, Rudy/Rudia is spreading the fluff real thick today. Last week it was Rudy’s wet dream to have Supreme Leader Dick as VP and now today Rudy hearts Bernie. Rudy must have been too much in the evidence room in New York passing the dutchie on the left hand side to his commish Bernie.
November 5th, 2007 at 8:08 pmOkay, as the joke goes Rudy can milk a tragedy, but not a cow. Well, I’m here to tell you he is trying to upgrade his skills and at the same time ‘milk’ the rural vote. The following picture tells the story best I think.

See, I told you it cleared up the issue! ;)
November 5th, 2007 at 8:37 pmBy controlling crime and bringing it under a central umbrella (rather than rival gangs fighting each other ) the presence of the Mob decreases the rate of crime ??????
November 5th, 2007 at 9:19 pmtp,that is a creepy photo by the way
November 5th, 2007 at 9:43 pmDo you get the feeling that that brat got her face in the way, just as Rudy & Bernie were about to kiss?
November 5th, 2007 at 9:54 pmjudyinnm, I can’t believe you said that. I was thinking the same thing..
November 5th, 2007 at 10:07 pmthe public spectacle of ghouliani;s detachment from reality and life in is ego maniacal existence grows.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:14 pm.
The people who voted for Bush will be the ones to pick the wrong president. Learn from mistakes made. Vote for Ron Paul. It’s insane to vote for anyone that runs out on his family, then flaunt his girlfriend in public while being mayor. It’s bad taste, lack of respect for his family and city. Low ethics, morals and should I go on? Then to top it all off. Guess who’s supporting Rudy now? A big known dope dealer…hahahahahahhahahhaaahahahaha I’m voting 2008 for Dr. Ron Paul. A humanitarian who fights for medical health care for us all, and supports us paying less taxes. Ron Paul speaks of bringing our troops home where they belong. It’s not a simple job, but I have hope in Dr. Ron Paul. He doesn’t lie through his teeth and giggle like a moron during the debates……
November 5th, 2007 at 10:40 pmI admire the very few who sticks up for their friends in their hour of need. Obviously it’s easier to criticize, then show loyalty. Good for you Rudy! Some things aren’t political.
November 5th, 2007 at 10:41 pmWhat a proud gay couple with their cute little daughter. Wonder who the “mommy” is?
November 5th, 2007 at 11:14 pmThe love that dare not speak it’s name….
That picture is wrong on so many levels. :P
November 5th, 2007 at 11:44 pm.
Rudy’s already proved himself the decider on many fronts…
His wife… er… cousin… er… third wife!
The radios… er… the radios… er… the radios!
Moving control center to the most probable strike zone… EVER!
Kerik’s judgment… er… Rudy’s judgment… er… judgment ability!
And he’s the best they’ve got?
LOL
ROFLMAO
For sure!

*********************************
Oh, I see — so Giuliani apparently sees nothing especially wrong or even objectionable about being crooked or even breaking the law as long as he’s getting the job done?
Funny, that…last time I checked, being accused breaking federal law while sitting in office as President is grounds for impeachment!
Good thing for people to know before they enter the voting booth, wouldn’t you say? Thanks for the heads-up, Rudy!
November 6th, 2007 at 7:49 amLooking at these 2 clowns kissing a baby is the most absurd thing I have seen in about a week. I say about a week because anytime I see ANY politician doing anything that looks good only means they are up to no good. It is so very very obvious what our current administration is doing is all wrong. They continue to play dumb…innocent and unaware of any wrong doing. It’s like getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar and trying to talk your way out of it. A politician is like a deadly virus. It mutates and continues its path of destruction. YUCK!
November 6th, 2007 at 3:53 pmWhat better way to fight crime than with criminals??!!! Especially those currently brought up on charges such as Kerik’s or worse. Giuliani’s police force! Henchmen? He cleane up New York! He was right there at ground zero on Sept 11! He doesn’t know whether waterboarding is torture or not?!! All I can say is what a guy! The foxes are still in charge of the hen house.
November 6th, 2007 at 3:57 pmI’d like to respond to Bluestocking’s comment about Giuliani. I am sure that when it comes to crime…you or I commit crimes. Our government , which is an honest, honorable and respectable group..(cough, cough, excuse me, I just choked on something)…goes to great lengths to uphold the law, keep criminals in check and our streets safe. We should be proud to have people such as these in charge from city governments all the way up to our federal government. How impressed we should all be because our leaders keep us informed all the time with truth, justice and honor. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go throw up.
